Sunrise After The Storm- Black Balsam Knob

After a cold night with high winds and rain, my son Paul and I had hoped for some clearing for a sunrise capture. The unique rock formation made for a strong foreground but the skies stayed gray except for the opening in the distance. At least we had a hint of a sunrise before breaking camp.
